More Analog Amplification

I once rode an early morning winter train from Beacon, NY, down the Hudson River valley, and into the great city, listening to this record on my headphones. Steaming smokestacks, frosty steel signs of industry awakening, snow dusted hills and cliffs, and the black and rolling river, all in rhythm to the perpetual chug of machinery beneath my body. It was a truly beautiful experience. It also created for me a visual companion for this song that would be hard to match. BUT! this video is spot-on AND has seemingly vintage spinning double horns amidst all its grainy steampunk imagery. Eat your heart out Andrew Bird. Honestly, the video is gorgeous despite my own competing experience, and this piece of music is such a moving investigation of the relationships betweeen technology, atmosphere, humans, and sound. The album itself is now several years old and you can read up on it all you want on these fantastic interwebs, but my affinity for every aspect of this project compels me to at least plant this seed.
